Mailbag: A Meaty Monday Mailbag - 06/25/2012

Mailbag time!!!!! Woo!

Woo mail bag

SO CLOSE

Aww yeah Monday content! And it's early Monday too!

:D

Why, I certainly do love Mondays. Especially when it's fucking MAILBAG.

Disgust-alicious Monday Mailbag.

Man, now I need to go to Portillo's. Was never a big italian beef fan but their hot dogs are unbeatable. Plus a lot of the Chicagoland locations have a Barnelli's inside so you can get some bomb-ass pasta along with your colon-destroying beef products.

Monday Night Combat BBQ! Bring on the chicken!

They didn't sound too excited about being shipped a hundred bucks worth of premium sandwich makings. Maybe that was the future diarrhea talking?

100% Fancy!

Putting on a wet meat hat. Yup, sure is North Cacalacky in here.

I need two plates or bowls for this.

Damnit, I was going to bring some Blues Clues into this but then I forgot how the song actually went. Guess I'll just say what I know...

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL!

I love beef more then Monday's.

I'm hungry.

I love that Brad always puts stuff on his head. Kinda reminds me of myself lol.

4:18 - I like to imagine that bottle of vodka is actually bigger than Ryan rather than just closer to the camera.

I'd be super excited to get Portilos in any way. These guys aren't amused. :(

Yes!

Drew looks so pleased in this video. He's just beaming the entire time he's on camera.

It's infectious.

Last!!!

So is the bombcast now sponsored by Portillos? I suppose that the bombcast theme is now going to be Jeff Gerstman and Ryan Davis grunting into a mic.

Fanciest video I've seen in a long time.

There was a lot of platforming in Quantum Conundrum, too much really. But I still really enjoyed it. It never quite reaches the heights of Portal, but it's a great puzzle game and I actually found a lot of it funny.

Jesus, Jeff gives up on games so easily!

The world is not ready for, "The Event".

My mouth is actually watering thanks to this mailbag.

Still 100% Fancy.

100% agreed with Jeff.

Quick Look: The Event.

I'm from Chicagoland and Portillos is one of the best things ever. For any family event we always order their Italian beef and it is always delicious, going there for some hot dogs and chocolate shakes is just absolutely amazing. If you ever visit Chicago or the Chicagoland area you HAVE to go to Portillos. Vienna beef hot dogs = the best!

sooo, wtf was up with that meat? do you just need to heat it up or do you have to cook it?

Awesome, this came from where I live! I live in Aurora, which is part of the Kane County, which uses the 630 area code! YAY!

I always thought Portillo's was like luxury fast food. What's so luxurious about having to make your own Italian beef-wich?

I soooo don't get the lack of enthusiasm over having a crate of amazing food delivered to you like that. Is it just because it's Monday, and they're wiped from a busy weekend, or what?

Jeff's "Yeaaaaahhhh." after Brad said "It's wet." almost made me piss myself.

Looks like they're ready to enter the meat dimension!

I guess it depends on the discrepancy between the quality of Portillo's food, vs. what's around you. Allow me to explain with an example from my own pitiful existence.

Top Pot donuts in Seattle are approximately 10 times better than any donuts within at least 200 miles from me. If someone were to send me some of their dough, mixed, proofed, rolled, shaped, and ready to deep fry, I'd probably fuck it up somehow. But it would still probably be around 5 times better than any donuts around here. I'd trade a bit of prep work for 6 hours of driving. Also, getting something for free is always kinda awesome.

Dammit, I'm so hungry now, and I don't have Portillo's, nor any decent donuts! :(

Updating your phone at work? They have the best jobs.

"I Don't Like It" Jeff Gerstmann, GiantBomb.com

I'm always looking to get my beef fluffed.

630? Yup, that's my area code. I live in DuPage county

gross dude

Now I can't trust your review of the new Portillos video game, Quantum Conundrum.

Why so down on this shit? it has to be delicious 

Oh lord I just had a vision of Giantbomb breaking into whatever CBS kitchen studio is around and making a fake cooking/Portillo's assembly show.

Ahhhh, it's so refreshing to hear every time Jeff says "I don't like it"

This is how you can become a chocolate fountain.
